Bestiary & Research
Research milestones, HP visibility, weakness discovery, Slayer's Edge, and how Research prepares players for advanced combat.
Bestiary & Research
RoosterMobs tracks kills against Elite archetypes and turns repeated combat into permanent research progress.
The Bestiary is designed around a simple loop:
Fight → Research → Understand → Counter
As elemental combat expands, the information unlocked through Research will become even more valuable.
Research Milestones
| Milestone | Unlock | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 50 kills | HP Visibility | Reveals health information for the researched archetype |
| 150 kills | Weakness Detection | Reveals the archetype's intended elemental weakness |
| 500 kills | Slayer's Edge | Approximately +10% damage against that researched archetype |
Weakness Research
RoosterMobs already stores the elemental counter relationships used by Weakness Detection. The full weakness/resistance damage matrix is being expanded in an upcoming RoosterMobs update.
Until that update is live, treat Bestiary weakness information as tactical research and preparation, not a guarantee that every displayed weakness is already applying the configured 1.5× damage multiplier.
Why Research Matters
Research rewards players for learning the enemies they repeatedly hunt. High Research ranks can provide:
- faster identification of dangerous targets
- visible HP information
- knowledge of elemental counters
- permanent archetype-specific combat bonuses
- better preparation for high-tier Elite encounters
Mastery improves your character broadly. Research improves your knowledge and effectiveness against specific Elite archetypes. Both systems matter as Nightmare difficulty increases.
